“The colors are very vibrant, the music is fantastic, it’s just lovely, and I didn’t expect there to be a narrative through the performance ... or for them to be based on stories. I thought it was going to be just dance performances. But I love stories, so I find it very interesting. It’s lovely!”

“The incorporation of Buddhism very interesting, knowing that the Chinese couldn’t practice Buddhism during the Cultural Revolution. ... I think it’s wonderful to look back and appreciate these spiritual practices in today’s world. I teach non-Western humanities, so I think there are these practices that people still find helpful today like meditation and developing morality. ... I love that part of the show as well.”
